The first public recycling bins on the streets of Bath have been installed on Bathwick Hill.
Cllr Armand Edwards has funded the bins from his devolved funding for pocal projects. There are three bins; by St. Mary’s, Tesco and a third planned for the Cleveland Walk junction; they take paper, bottles & cans plus normal waste.
There have been recycling bins in the Parade Gardens park for several years as part of a pilot project but this appears to have stalled. There are also recycling bins in several locations on the university campus.
Many cities around the world have been using public recycling bins for years and now our part of Bath has caught up.
Excellent to see, about time Bath got public bins like these. Lets hope there are more to come!
